Redhorse and Dam Minnows

First one, is a short (couple of minutes) look at some redhorse that we encountered at Brown Mountain Beach that shows some behaviour that I had not previously seen.

The next one, is a five minute look at the fish that were below a very interesting dam that we snorkeled during the same trip. The structure of this old dam was still standing, but it was not holding back the river, just letting it through... we saw colored up mirror shiners, whitetail shiners, striped shiners and others.

Take a look and enjoy!

It's a neat little camera that shoots in HD (these videos are not in HD, I had to down convert them to edit and post) directly to ad SD chip... so no tape! Made by a company called Bonica for diving, it comes with a silicone skin and a had plastic housing. So far it has been a pretty nice set-up... I have only used it a few times, but have had no porblems at all... so I am very satisfied.awesome videos! What type of camera do you use?

Is that the snapper HDDV? I had been thinking of getting one of them. You can also take still photos with it correct?

smilingfrog - Yes, I believe you are talking about the same camera. I bought the silicone skin and the hardcase with mine. The silicone skin had some spotty reviews as was only rated to 12 feet or so. I was concerned with all of the rough usage of "bouncing it along the stream boton" and the high flow we are in some times, that I should have more protection for the camera. The hard case is rated for somehting stupid like 180 feet... but for me that is just extra insurance against the rough handing and high flow.
Susan - thanks, I appreciate you saying so... particularly since I know that you were actually there so see some of these sites first hand.

Cool videos! I'm moving to South Carolina from Wisconsin in a few weeks for grad school and am very excited to meet the local aquatic fauna...

No, I do not, I can tell you where they were (like what drainage we were in... actually I think it is already in the video) but I am not the moxostoma expert (as I suspect you might be).
And like Dustin said, let us know when you get down here (especially if you are in Columbia which is a lot closer to me over here in Georgia) and also, keep in mind that some of us would prefer to get out in the water and help a grad student with his work, than just about anything else, so we can be available if you need an extra hand to drag seine (or whatever else you need done).
